This is a good bike to have in the stable for most scenarios around town, in the backroads, and on highways. You might be a tad cramped with your height, so make sure to sit on one to make sure you can live with the seating position before pulling the trigger. Thanks for watching. Ride safe!

After taxes and fees, you're looking at more than 10,000 dollars. Then, once you get it, you have to spend 500-1500 dollars on a real full system exhaust, and then a new air filter, and then a dyno tune. Now you're out about what 11,500-13,000 dollars and only got 74 hp. I don't care if "it goes 130mph". That is pathetic. I get 130 out of a ninja 400 and mine was 7,000 out the door. The zx4rr is 200 and some change cc smaller than the yamaha r7 and makes more power. You'll get a slightly higher top speed, better sounding engine, for the same price. Or you could get the cbr650r or daytona 660 and get over 90 horsepower. I just don't understand. Is it a yamaha thing? You love yamaha? Cuz I got some news for you. Yamaha lost the right to customers when they ditched the r6, and cemented their future as GARBAGE by announcing the discontinuing of the r1. Yamaha doesn't deserve your money, and you're not getting a good enough product. I'm left with no choice but to assume you honestly have no working brain cells. There is NO legitimate reason to buy an r7. Yamaha FAILED.

@@TheJoker-gg8hcJesus, everything’s gonna be okay man. I think people just enjoy the Yamaha reliability, the aesthetic, the low down torque, and the responsibility factor of not committing to a rocket death machine for a first bike. Spreadsheets should not rule ALL of your purchase choices. But I do agree, there are many competitive or better bang-for-buck alternatives.

Make your dreams come true 💪😎 Thanks for watching! Ride safe.

Ayy Steve, thanks for stopping in. I want to get on an 8S to review, the store I've been working with just hasn't had one on the floor in over 3 months! Tough times .

It’s a good option for a first bike, just make sure you take your time learning the machine before you start pushing the limits. Take a rider education course, do your parking lot practice sessions, and understand what the bike is capable of. Thanks for watching! Ride safe.

Thanks for riding! Stop by Big St. Charles if you get a chance. They have an awesome showroom! Who knows, maybe I'll be there and you can see what's under the helmet. 😉

If you want something that's not too terribly fast but still very capable out in the wild, the R3 is an excellent choice! YO MOMMA... Is probably a very nice lady. 😀 Thanks for watching. Ride safe. 😎

R7 is just a track oriented MT-07. The MT doesn't have the best suspension package, and brake feel just isn't as good at the lever. I'd say the R7 has taller gearing, but not 100% certain on that. If you are comfortable on your MT, don't even bother looking at the R7. The only recommendation I could see being feasible would be doing R7 suspension and front brake master cylinder on an MT from an R7. All the best! Ride safe. Thanks for watching. 😎

@@Omni_Moto Thanks Bossman

Yooo, thank you for showing out! Nice to see you here. 😎

Those are two vastly different machines even though they are done in the same style, but based on the description you provided I'd say the R7 fits into your template much better. The R7 has usable power you can harness on the windy roads, is substantially lighter than the R1, and gets better MPG. If you have any inclination that 75HP isn't sufficient enough though, save yourself some time and pony up to the R1. Hope this helps! Ride safe and thanks for watching.

@@Omni_Moto thank you for shedding some light and thoughts on the question. I’m just wondering if I pony up and get the R1 will it be just as flickable? Or if that is my concern then R7 is a better option for me. I’m an experienced rider that has ridden both size bikes before but just not those actual bikes. Continued thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Ayyy first one to show out on this video. 100K is possible with the power of likes, comments, and shares. 🙌 Thanks for the support. Ride safe. 😎

Hey man! R7 is a great bike... maybe a bit expensive for what it is. But still a great bike. Oh, hey, did you see the CFmoto updated their 2024 lineup? Already got the 800nk on pre order.

@@tyrant1178 and they have a 4 cyl in the plans too

@@tahahaider5836 oh I know and I've heard rumor that they're also planning an LC8 powered CL-C which would be insane.

@@tyrant1178 what's the lc8?

For full-blown beginners/newbies: -CFMOTO 450SS -Ninja 500/400 -R3 For advanced beginners/novices: -GSX-8R -Ninja 650 -CBR650R Thanks for watching!

If you are fine with the same amount of power and roughly the same top-end speed, then sure, but if you're looking for something that is more capable and has more raw UMPH then you'll be disappointed. Trading an MT07 for this bike is a pretty lateral move, with the only real improvements being the suspension and wind protection. If your goal is to get into a supersport, You'd be better off moving into a GSXR-750. It's an excellent vertical move up the ladder with a legendary reputation to back it up.

Great thank you for your thoughts! Is there a way to upgrade the my07 stock suspension to an r7?

@@ambermeows150 I don’t want to say yes and lead you astray - I’d recommend getting a hold of your local motorcycle shop and see if they can help set your suspension up correctly for you. A different fork oil + spring upgrade can make a big difference. There are a lot of people who have done front end conversions on a lot of bikes, it just depends how determined you are in the end. 😂

Yes, ABS. No traction control. Thanks for watching!

yes

I don’t want too much dead air, but I’m always open to changes and improving. How much more do you want to see?

Wanna see if my first gear be lagging. Hehe. So, I'm trying to compare by listening to your bike with the speed. I feel like I've been babying bike during break in. I'm at 575 miles, worried about glazing bores, but i might be thinking too much. Nice bassy clips and great content 😊

@@theprodigal7143 just dont sit in the same rpms too long when breaking it in. Make sure you use all the rpms all the way to 10k
